Well of course it's Robin, now I know, anyway now I haven't got to rack my brains, not up to it today. I am going to finish Christmas cards this afternoon, and see how many I can possibly get away with not posting.

We have had the rogue cat coming in the house again and eating Molly's food,it frightened me to death the other day. I was going in the house, when it shot out of the catflap in the kitchen door, past me like a streak of lightening, now our poor old Molly is frightened to go out, we are having to keep catflap closed and she only goes out when she thinks the coast is clear. These pets can be a pain sometimes, but we wouldn't be without them.

It's getting quite festive round the neighbourhood. The village Christmas tree is up, hopefully it will not be vandalised this year, and some of the neighbours have got lights in their trees, it's looking good.

Hope everyone is well. I overslept as well Jo, was up in the night as I couldn't sleep, had a cuppa and read for a bit then went back to bed. Didn't wake again until 9.30 when OH brought me a cup of tea, went back to sleep and woke up to find it cold. Ah well it is the day of rest, so they say.

Our friends at Nottingham gave us a load of holly, but the birds have eaten all the berries so I think I will be looking for artificial ones, I think you can still get them.

Not planning on doing much today, although the weather has improved, so might get to have a look round the garden. The twisted hazel could do with a prune.

Still thinking about the choccy clue. will be back later when my brain is in gear.

We are supposed to be going to Nottingham today to see friends, and to go to the Aurora lights in Rufford Park, All the trees are lite up in various ways and there is music playing. Whether we make it is another thing, there's a large lake there that can flood so......

Geoff, Harrogate in the spring is really beautiful and very select.It's got lovely hotels, good shops and of course Betty's famous tea rooms. You would feel right at home. Let's hope you win the vouchers then you can see for yourself, I'm sure Mrs Geoff would love it.

Got a dental appointment this morning, so have to venture into town. Christmas Market starts this afters, so it will be chaos. Hope to finish Christmas shopping, well that's the plan, how far I get is another matter.

Inka~~~~~ So pleased your friend has a lesser problem, though it won't be pleasant at her age to have anything done. She sounds a fiesty old bird( meant in the nicest possible way ) Best wishes to her anyway

Must away and get ready for trip, not only unpleasant, but costly

Geoff, don't know of anything for the bird water that wouldn't harm them. soz.

We had sausage with apple sauce, bubble and squeak, made from all the leftover cooked veg, including mashed swede and carrot.My Oh always said he didn't like swede, but if I mash it with carrot, plenty of pepper and butter he loves it.

I also live in Lincolnshire and are able to get the most wonderful veg' but I always check if I do have to buy at the supermarket where the veg comes from. Last week the cauliflower at one supermarket came from Holland, so it was put back and I bought some other locally produced goods.

That's sad new Inka, you will certainly miss your friend, good friends are few and far between, her garden looks spectacular..

My OH has gone to the pub with his domino mates, so it's a quiet evening in for me, might even get to write a few more cards.

Jo. Don't overdo it, there's always tomorrow.

Goodnight Dean, sleep tight. I saw on the weather forecast there could be snow in Yorkshire/Lincolnshire overnight so you might have a rough day tomorrow, especially ion the early hours.

Lincoln Christmas Market starts on Thursday and is on until Sunday. We get visitors from all over the country, and from abroad, quite an experience, with over 400 stalls this year, all round the Cathedral and Castle area. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Pam, you have reminded me to look at my Christmas cake, given to us some time ago by a friend, with instructions to feed it, needless to say, I forgot, will go and do it now
